I will try to be as much short as possible but exposing all the details. So, I bought a new GPU, it's a GeForce GTX 750 Ti, and I replaced my old one, which was a GeForce GTS 250 with this one. The rest of my system, shorted:

CPU: DualCore Intel Core i3-3220, 3400 MHz
Motherboard: Asus P8H61-M LE R2.0
1 RAM card: Kingston 9905403-447.A00LF 4 GB DDR3-1333
OS: Windows 8.1

My problem is, the new GPU gives better performance in general, but in every game, every once in a while there is small freezes and glitches, those were not present with the old GPU even tho the performance was less. And in certain games, it even gives texture glitches, textures showing in a wrong way, and it makes those games crash in certain situations, just freezes all the game, or just closes it up with 'the application ended unexpectedly' and stuff like that.

I tried wiping the hard drive and putting the system all over and everything needed again, putting all the needed runtime applications, reinstalling those games, getting different copies of the games online (I also play Tera Rising, MMO, it gives a texture glitch in some lava elements which the old GPU never did) and I tried redownloading that game too. Problems persist.

I tried taking the whole computer apart, checking for any broken pieces or any burns of any kind, I ran some tests to check the performance of the GPU, such as 3DMark, the results were all fine.

I contacted the seller recently and Im awaiting on an answer of what I could possibly do about this.

I wanted to know if anyone could check this, tell me maybe Im missing something, maybe Im doing something, or if more information is needed, any suggestions. Anything would be good. Thank you ahead of time.

Edit1: Forgot to mention, I am using all the updated drivers for everything and of course the Nvidia ones, from the official website, all in order.
